Video processing apparatus and video processing method

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a video processing apparatus which is connectable to an external apparatus having a function of converting a video signal of a first resolution into a video signal of a second resolution higher than the first resolution by inserting pixels with a predetermined luminance value includes an up-convert module. The up-convert module executes up-convert processing for a region extracted by excluding the pixels inserted by the external apparatus in the video signal of the second resolution supplied from the external apparatus.

1 . A video processing apparatus which is connectable to an external apparatus having a function of converting a video signal of a first resolution into a video signal of a second resolution higher than the first resolution by inserting pixels with a predetermined luminance value, the video processing apparatus comprising:
 an up-convert module configured to execute up-convert processing for a region extracted by excluding the pixels inserted by the external apparatus in the video signal of the second resolution supplied from the external apparatus.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the up-convert module is configured to execute super-resolution processing. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a display unit that displays at least one of information indicating the first resolution and the second resolution, and information presenting a message indicating that the up-convert processing is executed. 
     
     
         4 . A video processing method for a video processing apparatus which is connectable to an external apparatus having a function of converting a video signal of a first resolution into a video signal of a second resolution higher than the first resolution by inserting pixels with a predetermined luminance value, the method comprising:
 executing up-convert processing for a region extracted by excluding the pixels inserted by the external apparatus in the video signal of the second resolution supplied from the external apparatus.   
     
     
         5 . A video processing apparatus which is connectable to a display apparatus, the video processing apparatus comprising:
 an up-convert module configured to increase a resolution of an input video signal and to output the video signal with an increased resolution;   a pixel insertion module configured to convert a video signal of a first resolution into a video signal of a second resolution higher than the first resolution by inserting pixels with a predetermined luminance value; and   a control module configured to disable the up-convert module and to enable the pixel insertion module when the display apparatus has an up-convert function.
